	Austin FX4: Rival cabs
		In fact, the 1986 MCW Metrocab was to prove to be the only viable alternative to the FX4, which of course was still going strong even then.
		Cammell Laird, a division of the Midlands-based engineering firm Metro-Cammell-Weymann (MCW), acquired the rights to the Beardmore design and developed it into a fully-engineered protoype, which entered service in London in June 1970.
		Some 15 years after their first attempt had faltered, an all-new, MCW Metrocab burst onto the London scene, its plastic bodywork being built under contract by Reliant.

		Weymann's Motor Bodies (1925) limited was formed in 1925 at Addlestone to manufacture a new type of motor car and later motor coach body consisting of a light and flexible metal jointed wooden frame covered with leather cloth which became very popular but in its final development metal panels replaced the fabric covering.
		In 1932 Metropolitan-Cammell Weymann and was set up as a joint sales organisation after the two manufacturing companies had agreed to pool their body building resources, bus body building having been introduced at Metro-Cammell in 1929.
		In 1963 Weymann's were bought out and all production was concentrated at MCW in Birmingham.

		VWD 451H, was one of two demonstrators built in 1969 by MCW in Birmingham, registered VWD 451H and VWD 452H.
		Since the prototype was an MCW demonstrator (made in Birmingham) it would have carried a 'local' registration number, hence the Warwickshire index.
		MCW stands for Metro Cammell Weymann, and this was an amalgam of two company's, Weymann and Metro-Cammell which had previously been Cammell-Laird just to complicate matters!

	Weymann
		Weymanns manufactured the RLH (and the Midland General original) in addition to many thousands of other steel and composite framed bus and coach bodies from the 1920s to the 1960s.
		Designs and knowledge were also shared with Metropolitan Cammell; this lead to the first metal framed Weymann bus bodies.
		1957- Weymann and Leyland built a prototype Routemaster RM3, although Park Royal was chosen to build the main fleet in the end.

	Welcome to MDS Book Sales
		Captain Weymann’s original venture was replaced after just two years by a restructure that brought it into the Central Mining & Investment Corporation, a gold and diamond mining business that also owned South African and Portuguese bus companies which, hardly surprisingly, bought Weymann bodies.
		As he explains, the Metro-Cammell Weymann joint venture was born of necessity.
		Others with far more knowledge than I tell me there also are some errors in the detail, but the big picture of how the business was structured and the what-might-have-beens along the way make a useful addition to the history of the British bus industry.

	BaMMOT Omnibus 160 - September 2004
		I am planning to produce a drawing to build a 4mm scale model of the Manchester style vehicles built by Weymann (Midland Red had a couple of them in 1943) but I am having trouble with body dimensions.
		Their bodies were rare in being genuine Metro-Cammell Weymann products at a time when the two companies were quite separate manufacturers, although they shared a joint sales organisation.
		The frames were produced by Metro-Cammell, presumably around 1940 and presumably also to an order for Manchester, but would then have been “frozen” upon the directive to stop manufacturing buses.

		Conservative Londoners were thus greatly alarmed when a Birmingham company called Metro Cammell Weymann said it was building a streamlined rival to the traditional taxi, which is made by London Taxis International and first appeared in 1948.
		Despite its more modern styling, the new cab, which was introduced last month and is known as the Metrocab, is at least equal in comfort to the older models.
		MCW plans to produce 1,000 Metrocabs in 1987, or about half the number of traditional cabs that London Taxis International sells each year.
